Claudia and I spent Thursday night up at Blue Lakes in the Sneffels Range. We enjoyed an exciting thunderstorm, followed by a windy evening, a night with an unidentified animal stalking around our tent, and finally a gorgeous clear morning. But the highlight of all – Claudia said yes and we’re engaged!!!

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful place to get engaged. I was camping the other night by Crested Butte and a deer came and ate grass by me at 1am, dang they eat loudly! Figured whatever it was, if it ate grass, it probably didn’t want any of my meat, ahahha.
Hi Jack,
Congratulations on your engagement…..I see your site regularly and enjoy your work. I haven’t been to Ouray for a couple years and I miss it. Maybe next year. Like you I am a hiker first and photographer second, but a lot older. I also owned a software company before my retirement in 1998. Keep up the good work….jay
Congratulations! What a beautiful place to ask that question.
So will you be living in Colorado or the Alps?
Best Wishes, Ned
Beautiful as usual. When camping near Twin Lakes in the Weminuchee one night I was awaked by a “clomp” “clomp” “clomp” around the tent. At one point whatever was outside my tent was sniffing right around where my head was. You can only imagine all the creatures running through my head that night. Never did find out what it was, it eventually left.
Congratulations to you both!
May you have many more days of adventures together!
On which of the continents do you plan to base yourself?
congrats Jack! Surprised at the lack of snow when looking back at your boarding images, must have melted fast.
Jack…I’ve known you your whole life, and I’m absolutely thrilled for you and Claudia. Peru…what a great choice!! I’m SO happy for you both…and of course for your folks too 🙂
Congratulations to you both! I was wondering when that would happen. Blue Lakes is a beautiful spot, how romantic! I just moved to the Ouray area this year….after wishing I lived here for the last 42 years!
I wish you and Claudia a very happy life of adventure…..and safety.
I hope to keep seeing more fantastic nature photography.
Carol
Congrats!! Epic spot to pop the question. 🙂
Thank you all for your comments!
Ned & Yair – Our plan for now is to live in Ouray! But we’ll probably be spending a fair amount of time in Germany and the Alps as well…
What were her options, considering the secluded place in a foreign country with unknown creatures around…? Likely you carried the car key….hm? 😉
Now seriously, thanks for the goose bumps. How romantic. Congratulations to both of you. Wishing you many wonderful and exciting adventures together. And thanks for sharing with us….
Congratulations Jack. Totally missed the proposal in my first read. Any woman that likes to camp is a keeper!
Nice work, Jack, and for once I don’t mean the photos! Blue Lakes is a great place for such a thing. Congrats!
Congratulations Jack. What a super spot for a great occasion.
Congrats again Jack and many years of happy mountain trails to you two! I dig these images, especially the lead-in and Blue and Green, the coolest take on Blue Lakes I’ve seen.
A big congratulations to you Jack!!! And what a BEAUTIFUL location for it to happen. Wow.

Oh yes, Blue Lakes! Use to go there quite a bit, before I got the desert bug. Loved it. Congrats, what a nice place to make a commitment like that.
But Jack, surely you’ve heard of the Blue Lakes Bigfoot? It usually leaves a handful of colorful pebbles by your tent door. It only visits happy camps.
Thanks again everybody for your kind comments!!!
Congrats Jack! Live long and prosper 🙂
Hi Jack, I was just thinking about you this morning so checked out your site. Congratulations! Hope to see you in Engelberg again this winter. Kevin
